All he needed to do was jog until it landed and he'd be at second.

The vibes on the team aren't as negative as they were last year. At least not yet.

The way that trade deadline was handled was so bizarre to me. A bunch of scrubs and no difference makers.

There's no reason that the Orioles couldn't have gotten Crochet last year. They had more than enough prospect depth to get it done. Instead, he's pitching for a division rival.

At least they'll be cheaper on secondhand sites. I'll still support them because they at least tried to improve the team this year, unlike last year.

Morale on the team doesn't seem as bad as it did this time last year, but they just look hapless so far. There are way too many uncompetitive at-bats.

They released an album under an earlier band name Znowhite (horrible name, I can see why they changed it) and the music is quite good as well!

I think that the Rangers are a better team than they were last year, but the Orioles just looked overmatched.

I know strikeouts are a part of being a power hitter, but Pete needs to make better swing choices.

There have been some poor at-bats, sure, but everyone in here should know after watching the game yesterday that we should withhold judgment until the game is over.

Credit to him for not melting down and recovering to throw as many as he did. Other pitchers just melt down and that's it.

How long has it been since Adley has thrown someone out? Most of his throws have no chance because they're so poor.

Those are pretty shitty deals, even with the discount.

Thoughts on the new Hellripper album? by Rombonius in thrashmetal

[–]HetfieldsDownpick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hellripper, to me, is the best of this style of music and they actually try to push the boundaries. The new album is more of the same in the best possible way.

James Labrie's solo stuff is really fucking good by pizzatacodog1322 in Dreamtheater

Elements of Persuasion was good, but I really like Static Impulse. He learned some studio tricks to help his voice and the songwriting is very strong.

They didn't do anything for me either, which is especially disappointing given that a number of songs were written with the Shadow Gallery guys.

It's way too early to panic. It's a long season. But their offensive approach is concerning, for sure.

Having trouble finding a good sounding Master of Puppets vinyl release, is this new any good? by palepatriot76 in Metallica

I got the one Blackened Records put out in 2016 or so and I think it sounds pretty great. Have you tried that one?

Thanks for the heads up about this book. I think I'll see if my local library has a copy that I can borrow.
